Ghoulish Games

For our Halloween party every year I make a list of about 15 games and activities. (Stay with me here) My husband thinks this is nuts- but with little kids, these games can go fast. And some are hits and some, well, aren’t. It’s totally unpredictable, so I like to have choices, choices, choices!

• Instead of a bean bag toss, try a ghost toss using pumpkin balloons like Mess for Less
• Pumpkin golf from Growing a Jeweled Rose
• Stack and Squirt game from Momma’s Fun World
• Ghost Bowling from The Pleasantest Thing
• Halloween Egg Hunt from Growing a Jeweled Rose
